Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn some scenes of the film, an old woman, clad entirely in black, is seen sitting at the back seat. No one ever talks to her, she plays no part in the film's plot, and she isn't listed in the end credits. Director Slobodan Sijan has allegedly said that she represents death, as well as the tragedy of the upcoming war. However, the film's screenwriter Dusan Kovacevic has said that: ''The old woman in black represents a part of Serbia which is completely isolated. She is an analogy of the old people who were left in some backwater villages by their families. There they live, day-by-day, accepting their fate, with little concern about the events in the world, and have created their own paradox of memory, habits and melancholy.''
- GoofsThe bus that makes the center point of the film is a Mercedes-Benz O3500, which did not enter the production until 1949, eight years after the events in film take place.

Featured review
If you like "tragicomedies" and dramas within comedies, then this film is just made for you. The portrayal of all the characters is stereotypical to every detail and line. How to turn boring and unattractive everyday Serbian life and landscape of Serbia at the time of II. world war to what it came out on the film is spectacular. Even though, most actors were well known and respected in former Yugoslavia and beyond, their parts in this film were re-emerging for them. There are a few times you can easily forget that they are in fact, acting, they are that good! To give this amazing cast that screenplay and a great director, you know you are making a hit. The storyline is beyond the wildest imagination. When you stop laughing because of one scene, there is another one unexpectedly kicking right in again. It all comes clear at the end, but don't miss even a second of the film or you will regret doing so. Considering hard life in Serbia, films there have similar stories, but each and every one of them is told differently through every film. I can't forget the amazing (!!!) soundtrack that follows every "breaking point" in the film. Well thought through in every aspect, this film can easily be one of the best dark comedies of all time and surely one of the best Yugoslavian films in history.
